Acidophilus
Lactobacillus acidophilus is a 'friendly' organism which helps the
body fight disease and restore health. Modern research has discovered
that acidophilus kills the harmful bacteria strain of E. coli in
the intestinal tract. Acidophilus breaks milk sugar down into lactic
acid. Bacteria which produce putrefaction and gas in the intestines
cannot live in lactic acid. Acidophilus also has the unique ability
to help the body synthesize, or manufacture all of the 'B' vitamins
in the system. This makes it especially valuable since there is
literally a host of agents which destroy B vitamins. A few are
antibiotics,
birth control pills, eating sugar and refined foods and drinking
coffee. A diet high in red meat will destroy the beneficial bacteria,
due to the concentration of antibiotics and steroids given to the
animals before they are slaughtered.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar helps the body get rid of toxins and nourishes the
digestive processes.
B Complex
B-complex vitamins play many roles in the human body, but primarily
they nourish the brain and nervous system. A diet high in refined
foods or a life full of stress puts a greater demand on the body
for these important nutrients. B1 - skin, eyes, hair; B2 - nourishes
the tissues of the body; B6 - mild diuretic, PMS; B12 - anxiety
and depression; Folic Acid - works synergistically with B12, cell
division and replication; Biotin - metabolism of protein, fats and
carbohydrates, cholesterol; B3 (Niacin) - energy production; Pantothenic
acid - nourishes the adrenal glands which help the body to withstand
stress; PABA - works synergistically with folic acid; Choline bitartrate
- helps make acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter in the
brain; Inositol - metabolism of fat and cholesterol; absorption and
utilization of fat.
Bee Pollen
Bee pollen is a rich source of many nutrients, including amino acids.
It bursts with easily assimilated protein and lecithin, which nourish
the brain and nervous system. Bee Pollen nutritionally supports
the body in many ways, including assisting with vitality and a feeling
of well-being. It has been used by athletes, along with Ginseng,
to maintain energy and stamina.
Bioflavonoids
Bioflavonoids are nutrients which are related to the Vitamin C family.
They cannot be synthesized by the body, and therefore must be obtained
from food or supplements. Bioflavonoids are helpful in nourishing
the integrity and strength of capillaries and cells.
Biotin
Biotin assists in the metabolism of fat and protein. It nourishes
muscles.
Black Currant Oil
Black currant oil is rich in linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid
(GLA). This substance supports the body's manufacture of hormone-like
substances known as prostaglandins which help regulate functions
of the circulatory system. GLA assists the body with its energy
processes and is a structural component of the brain, bone marrow,
muscles and cell membranes.
Borage Oil
Borage oil is an excellent source of gamma-linolenic acid. It also
nourishes the heart.
Boron
Boron may retard bone loss.
Calcium
Calcium is essential to strong bones and may prevent osteoporosis.
Calcium Pantothenate
Calcium pantothenate nutritionally supports the glandular system
and helps promote a feeling of well-being.
Caprylic Acid
Caprylic acid is a nutrient from coconuts which helps burst yeast
cells and hinder their reproduction.
Carnitine
L-carnitine is an amino acid which nourishes the heart, nourishes
and strengthens muscles, and nutritionally supports the circulatory
system. L-Carnitine is considered to be a "carrier" of fat to the
mitochondria or "fatburning" area of the cell. This remarkable amino
acid-like substance is not only necessary for the metabolism of
fat at the cellular level; it is also essential in the forming of
firm, lean muscle tissue in the body. Recent studies support earlier
research which shows that the heart has the greatest amount of
L-Carnitine
of any muscle in the body. L-Carnitine has also shown to be instrumental
in the metabolism of cholesterol. Some overweight people may lack
L-Carnitine in their bodies. The heart produces most of its energy
from fats; thus is dependent upon L-carnitine. An L-Carnitine deficiency
causes extreme metabolic impairment to heart tissue. On the other
hand, supplemental L-Carnitine has proved to be beneficial to heart
patients.
Cayenne
Cayenne is a pepper well known for its benefits to the circulatory
system. It aids the body to balance pressure levels and resist abnormal
bleeding. Cayenne also nourishes the digestive system. This plant
assists in the body's utilization of other herbs, when used in an
herbal combination. When applied topically, it helps relieve minor
discomfort.
Celery Seed
Celery seeds contain vitamins A, C and B-complex.
Chitosan
Chitosan provides a natural source of fiber and acts like other
dietary fibers by benefiting the circulatory system. It also helps
the body maintain normal functions of digestion and elimination.
Researchers believe that if we cleanse our colon with frequent bowel
movements, we can rid ourselves of these dangerous toxins, therefore
reducing our risk for disease. And how do we create this cleansing
process? Fiber is the most important source in reducing your chances.
Chitosan is a natural dietary fiber.
Choline
Choline helps in the formation of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter,
which assists brain function and health. It also helps the body break
down fats effectively.
Chromium
Chromium is necessary for the body to convert glucose to energy.
A U.S. Department of Agriculture study has shown that nine out of
ten Americans get less than the low end range of chromium recommended
by the National Academy of Sciences. Biologically-active chromium
(as found in ChromaTone), helps maximize the body's efficient use
of insulin. Insulin regulates the metabolism of blood sugar, lipids
(including cholesterol) and protein. Studies also indicate that
chromium, when combined with appropriate exercise, has very positive
muscle-tissue building and toning properties.
Chromium Polynicotinate
Chromium polynicotinate is nutritionally beneficial as an appetite
suppressant and for normalizing blood sugars.
Co-enzyme Q10
Studies that have been conducted on this co-enzyme in the past 40
years demonstrate that it can help maintain healthy immune and
cardiovascular
systems, tissues and organs, and oral health (especially the gums).
It also assists the body to maintain proper weight balance.
Cranberry
Cranberry contains a compound that prevents bacteria from adhering
to the walls of the bladder and rest of the urinary tract. This
prevents the bacteria from spreading and eventually results in the
halt of infection. Using cranberry on a regular basis may help prevent
the formation of kidney stones.
Cruciferous Vegetables
Research conducted by Dr. Jon Michnovicz of the Institute for Hormone
Research and Dr. Leon Bradlow of the Strang Institute, suggests
that increased consumption of cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli,
cabbage and Brussels sprouts may reduce the risk of certain cancers,
particularly breast cancer. Cruciferous vegetables contain indoles
- a unique class of phytonutrients that have been scientifically
shown to balance hormone levels, detoxify the intestines and liver
and reinforce the body's immune system.
DHEA
DHEA is a short name for the fancier name of Dehydroepiandrosterone,
a hormone normally produced by the adrenal glands, but which diminishes
as a person ages. It is a precursor to male (androgens) and female
(estrogens) steroid hormones. DHEA seems to increase a feeling of
vitality in many people.
Enzymes
The enzymes Amylase, Cellulase, Invertase, Lipase, Protease,
Glucoamylase
act as catalysts for proper assimilation of vitamins, minerals,
fats, proteins and carbohydrates.
Essential Fatty Acids
Essential fatty acids (EFA), sometimes referred to as vitamin F,
cannot be made from the body - they must be supplied in the diet.
Essential fatty acids nourish the body at the very foundation of
health . . . at the cellular level. They strengthen cell membranes
to fortify against the invasion of harmful microorganisms. These
nutrients also help dissolve body fat and increase metabolism and
energy production. Thus, they are also very helpful in a comprehensive
weight management program. Essential Fatty Acids help reduce cravings
for sweet and fatty foods.
Evening Primrose Oil
Evening primrose oil supplies both linolenic and linoleic essential
fatty acids.
Folic Acid
Folic acid is a vitamin that stimulates the formation of normal
red blood cells. Folic acid helps nourish the skin and nervous system.
Garlic
Garlic provides nourishment for the circulatory, immune and urinary
systems. It aids in supporting with normal circulation, nourishing
stomach tissues, maintaining normal blood pressure and aids the
body's natural ability to resist disease. Garlic is a natural antibiotic
and fungicide.
Germanium
This trace mineral is a potent antioxidant. It improves oxygen flow
to cells, and strengthens the immune system. It has pain-relieving
properties and studies have shown that organic germanium (sesquioxide)
can nutritionally support the body's defense system. Many people
have attributed remarkable benefits with the intake of Germanium.
One woman had suffered many years with arthritis, nervous problems
and a painful muscle disease called "fibrositis." She could not
stand to even barely be touched because it caused her such agony.
This person began taking one capsule daily of 30 mg. of germanium
sesquioxide, which also had odorless garlic added. She said, "Now
I'm on 'cloud nine' since taking Germanium ... and I have so much
energy, I don't know what to do with it all!"
Glucosamine
Glucosamine stimulates the body's manufacture of collagen, the protein
portion of the fibrous substance that holds joints together. Collagen
is also the main component of the shock-absorbing cushion called
articular cartilage — the white smooth surface which covers the
ends of body joints — such as those in the wrist, fingers, toes,
ankles, knees, hips and between the discs of the spine.
Glycogen
Glycogen is the body's natural form of stored energy. Glycogen provides
the long drive of energy known as the athlete's "second wind." Stored
half in the muscles and half in the liver, glycogen is enzymatically
controlled for a natural time release of energy to maintain necessary
blood sugar levels.
Grapefruit Pectin
Grapefruit pectin (derived from the pulp and rind of this citrus
fruit) is a type of fiber which can bind toxins and help eliminate them
from the body.
Grapeseed Extract
Grapeseed extract is a rich source of potent antioxidant bioflavonoids
known as proanthocyanidins. Grape seed extract provides 92-95% potency,
as compared to 80-84% yielded by pine bark. This means that its
antioxidant and nutritional properties are far superior. According
to proanthocyanidin researcher, Dr. Jack Masquelier, only grape
seeds contain powerful gallic esters, dynamic ingredients in the battle
against free radicals.
Inositol
Inositol nourishes the brain and helps balance cholesterol levels.
It also helps the body break down fats effectively.
Iodine
The thyroid depends upon minerals, especially iodine, to function
properly and to secrete adequate amounts of thyroxine and
triiodothyronine.
These hormones influence metabolic rate and body temperature, as
well as regulate protein, fat, and carbohydrate utilization in cells.
Iron
In North America, 58% of the population consume less than the
recommended
daily amount of iron. Iron deficiency is the single most common
nutrient deficiency in the world today. Growing children, females
and athletes all have increased need for iron in order to avoid
anemia. Iron is vital to healthy blood and an essential part of
the oxygen-carrying hemoglobin of the blood.
Kelp
Kelp contains nearly thirty minerals which nourish the glands
(especially
the thyroid and pituitary). By enhancing the action of the glandular
system, it helps balance the body's metabolism and rate at which
it burns calories. Kelp, also known as seaweed, grows in the rich
ocean beds, far below surface pollution levels. Because of its high
nutrient content, this herb is reputedly beneficial for a wide range
of applications. It is known to nourish the sensory nerves, brain
membranes, also spinal cord and brain tissue. Kelp contains alginic
acid which can help protect the body against the effects of radiation.
Lecithin
Lecithin is essential to every cell and organ in the body. It provides
nourishment to the body so that the body can regulate metabolism,
increase defenses and break down fat and cholesterol.
Magnesium
Magnesium helps with the absorption of calcium, phosphorus, sodium,
potassium, B complex, C and E.
Manganese
When manganese is bound or "chelated" with specific amino acids,
it targets parts of the body to help metabolism. When manganese
is chelated with the amino acids proline, histidine, and glutamic
acid, it travels through the blood to the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus
is the organ below the brain which is responsible for regulating
many body functions, including temperature, appetite and sleep.
The chelated manganese increases the natural thyrotropin-releasing
hormone secreted by the hypothalamus. This hormone, known as T.R.H.,
has a direct effect on the master gland (pituitary).
Melatonin
Melatonin is produced in the body by the pineal gland in the brain.
Tryptophan, an amino acid found in food, is taken in by the body
and made into serotonin, a neurotransmitter (conductor of nerve
signals). The pineal gland takes the serotonin and makes it into
melatonin, but only during the night. (The enzymes in the brain
which change serotonin into melatonin are inactivated by light).
Norepinephrine is another neurotransmitter which assists in melatonin
production. It acts as a catalyst to melatonin production by stimulating
cells in the pineal gland to begin making melatonin in the absence
of light. Sometimes, for one reason or another, the body does not
produce adequate amounts of melatonin for its needs. This can result
in insomnia and depression, among other symptoms. The body's ability
to synthesize melatonin may decrease with age.
Minerals
Trace (micro) and major (macro) minerals play a crucial role in
maintaining health. It is well-established that some mineral
deficiencies
can be linked to physical conditions including grey hair, baldness,
asthma, eczema, psoriasis, epilepsy, diabetes, arthritis and mental
illness.
MSM
MSM is simply an acronym for methylsulfonylmethane, a dietary source
of sulfur that naturally supports the immune system and plays a
major role in the formation of enzymes and hormones that control body
activities.
Niacin
Niacin is nutritionally beneficial for circulation. Niacin reduces
low-density lipid (LDL) forms of cholesterol and improves peripheral
blood flow.
Nicotinamide
Nicotinamide nourishes the digestive and circulatory systems.
Noni
The noni plant has many folk-remedy uses. It is fabled among the
Polynesian peoples to especially help support the body's respiratory,
immune, digestive, and structural systems.
Octacosanol
Octacosanol is derived from wheat germ oil and helps improve endurance
and stamina.
PABA
PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid) helps assimilate pantothenic acid and
nourishes the skin.
Papaya
Papaya contains an enzyme called papain which helps the body break down
protein.
Parsley
Parsley is valued as a blood builder, cleanser and has pressure
regulating properties.
Potassium
Potassium nourishes the heart, kidneys, pancreas, muscles and the
nerves. It assists in the growth and repair of body tissues, and
also helps conduct messages in the body through the nervous system.
Potassium helps regulate blood pressure. There must be a balanced
potassium-to-sodium ratio in the body for all systems to function at
their optimum level.
Quercetin
Quercetin has been shown to help the body defend itself against harmful
microorganisms.
Resveratrol
Red wine extract contains the recently acclaimed flavonoid, resveratrol.
Resveratrol is found naturally in many fruits and vegetables, however,
red wine and other grape products are the richest source. Recent
research has linked resveratrol supplementation with enhanced immune and
cardiovascular support.
Rhubarb
Rhubarb can help dissolve mucus adhering to the walls of the colon.
Salmon Oil
Salmon oil is rich in Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids. These nutrients
are recognized as having many beneficial properties. They include
regulating the body's production of cholesterol, and strengthening
cell walls, fortifying them against the invasion of viruses and
bacteria.
Selenium
Selenium is a mineral that reinforces the body's defense system.
Vitamin B1
Vitamin B1 (thiamine) has positive effects on the nervous system,
mental well-being, skin, eyes, and hair.
Vitamin B2
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) nourishes skin, nails, hair, growth,
reproduction
and vision. The body needs more of this nutrient during stress
situations.
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HCL) is necessary to metabolize B12 in the
body. It helps the body release excess water and nourishes the nervous
system.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is used in the production of energy and
it nourishes the nervous system. Vitamin B12 supports the maturation of
red blood cells.
Vitamin C
We do not produce our own vitamin C — it must be obtained from our
diet. Science continues to confirm, with ever increasing evidence,
the benefits of the C vitamin family to especially nourish the body's
structural and defense systems. Vitamin C strengthens cells and
tissues and helps build the body's defense system.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant and helps the body cope with
toxic substances such as air pollution. It also helps protect the
cells and increase oxygen to them. Research shows that animals who
were exposed to various concentrations of ozone and took vitamin
E lived longer than animals whose diets were not supplemented with
this nutrient. Vitamin E strengthens the circulatory system and
may help soothe leg and foot aches that occur at night.
Vitamin F
Vitamin F, also know as Essential Fatty Acids (EFA), cannot be made
from the body - they must be supplied in the diet. Essential fatty
acids nourish the body at the cellular level. They strengthen cell
membranes to fortify against the invasion of harmful microorganisms.
These nutrients also help dissolve body fat and increase metabolism
and energy production. Thus, they are also very helpful in a
comprehensive weight management program.
Watermelon seeds
Watermelon seeds help the body eliminate excess water.
Whey
Whey is derived from the cheese-making process, and is full of vitamins
and minerals. It is also a superior protein source, with a protein
efficiency rating that exceeds that of soy, wheat, and even whole
milk. This means that the protein in whey is used more efficiently
by the body than by the protein from these other sources.
Zinc
Zinc is essential for the health of the reproductive organs, especially
in the male.
